181: 7 Ways You’re Blocking Your Calling In Midlife – And What To Do About It

PURPOSESCAPING : Build confidence to reinvent and find purpose in midlife

Episode Description:

In this episode, I revisit one of the most impactful articles I’ve ever written — 7 Ways You Keep Yourself From Your Calling — with fresh eyes and 11 more years of coaching and life under my belt.

I break down the common mental blocks and limiting beliefs I see time and again with my clients and community — from waiting on permission to downplaying your unique brilliance — and I share the mindset shifts you must adopt to finally answer your true calling in 2025 and beyond.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional still feeling unfulfilled, or an emerging voice trying to find the courage to shine, this episode is your reminder that your calling won’t wait forever — and neither should you.

🔑 In This Episode:

• The 7 hidden ways you may be self-sabotaging your purpose

• Why perfectionism and practicality can quietly kill your dreams

• How to stop dimming your light to keep others comfortable

• Why “waiting for permission” is the fastest path to regret

• The difference between dabbling and committing to your greatness

• What it really means to own your unique contribution in a noisy world

• A 2025 mindset check: what's still true and what's changed since the original article was published
